Looking to Win Now? Acquire These Players

[btv802]

These are some of my fave values right now. Not actually trying to buy any of them so don't mind if my league mates peep this

RB: Ingram, J Stew
WR: DJax, Decker
TE: Martellus

Jordy Nelson....you can probably get a discount because of he age (32) and he will still produce top 5 numbers for a couple years.

Not if you play in a league with people who care about winning.

I highly doubt DT will suddenly turn back into a WR1 play just because Vance Joseph wants him to be better. Of course he wants him to be better; all of Denver's front-office wants him to be better because they're paying him like a superstar, but haven't gotten close to that level of performance from him the last two seasons. Bottom line, DT will still be limited by 1.) the QB situation in Denver, which is replacement-level with Siemian, and will be even worse than that if Paxton Lynch gets starts 2.) he's DT, and we know now he's just not great without Peyton Manning. And before anyone brings up '15, please remember DT got 198 targets that year as Denver force-fed him after signing his fat contract... anyone will be a WR1 with 200 effing targets. That doesn't mean DT's play warranted those targets (it didn't, which is why the figure subsequently plummeted to 144 in '16).

I'm with you all the way on Garcon.

Your other picks are dubious, but not as bad as projecting DT for 'another 3-4 seasons of top 15 numbers'. Britt will probably be a solid high-end WR3. Not sure if that counts as true 'win-now' help, though. Graham's an okay guy for this list, assuming he can be bought for a reasonable price, which is probably really variable league to league. That said, if Tyler Lockett has his scheduled third-year breakout, Graham's numbers will suffer. Adrian Peterson is a booooold pick for 10+ TDs, and TDs will probably be the only way he can return RB2 numbers, but i won't scoff at a guy that's bound for Canton and may still have something left to show us on New Orlean's fast turf and with a better O-line that AP had lately in Minny.

This thread prompted me to send out a feeler for DT. I got him for Coates, 18 2nd, & 19 2nd (projected mid-round and late, respectively) in a 24 team league. I feel like he may be the piece that pushes me over the top.

Great trade for you but why would the other owner even accept that? That's unreal.

Rebuild. And the next week he sold Diggs for below market value. Kicking myself for not making an offer.

DT finished last season as the WR16 in a 1 ppr league. Was 13 points behind WR12. I think there's a reasonable chance he's a WR1 again.

[DrNoish]

He was wr 13 in my 1ppr standard league 8pts exactly shy of wr10. Safe to say he can still be considered a wr1

[mratlanta]

I would add Big Ben to the list as far as QBs go. Injuries and the threat of imminent retirement loom, but he's still a solid QB1 on an explosive offense for as long as he plays and you can probably acquire him cheaply.

I'm down on AP too. I think he's lost a few steps and will be sharing carries/receptions with Ingram and Kamara.

My Picks for cheaper players to help win now:
QB Roethlisberger
RB Gore, Blount
WR Fitzgerald, Marshall, Garcon
TE Witten
